www.sare.org publications polyculture-and-reservoir-ranching research-synopsis-7 Research Synopsis The SARE project Enhancing Farmers' Income through Polyculture of Paddlefish with Catfish in the Southern Region was conducted from 1999-2002. Paddlefish were stocked in commercial catfish ponds (five acres or larger) at 50 and 75 fish/acre located in Kentucky, Alabama and Oklahoma. These states represent low catfish production in the United States and often lower […]

www.sare.org publications cultural-practices-for-root-knot-and-root-lesion-nematode-suppression-in-vegetable-crop-rotations research-synopsis-6 Research Synopsis With funding from Northeastern SARE, trials were conducted in small plots and on grower fields to evaluate cultural methods to manage RKN and root-lesion nematode. Meetings with Maryland and Delaware producers of potatoes and other vegetable crops led to the selection of 12 three-year rotational sequences for evaluation in small plots and six three-year rotations […]

Additionally, reductions in soil-borne and foliar disease may result from cover crop use. Nematode-suppressive cover crops provide the additional benefit of nematode disease suppression. Two non-host cover crops that […]

Genetic markers that are associated with phenotypic traits are often referred to as quantitative trait loci (QTL). The presence of QTL […]
